Patriot Act Game Pokes Fun at Government
The Miami Herald is reporting that a new game based on Monopoly is taking a crack at Patriot Act and what creator Michael Kabbash describes as the curtailed freedom that has resulted. From the article: "The object of the game is not to amass the most money or real estate, but to be the last player to retain civil liberties. 'I've had people complain to me that when they play, nobody wins. They say "We're all in Guantanamo and nobody has any civil liberties left," he said. 'I'm like "Yeah, that's the point."'"
Sure, it's funny...
But if these people would have spent a little more time working with their representatives, or mobilizing petitions, or SOMETHING that actually affected the political systems, they might actually have what they want. Now, they've got a much talked about game, and rights are still just as infringed-upon. Yay for you.
Judging by your comment on this thread and your sig, you're nothing but a grammar nazi with nothing better to do than come on here and put other people down for something other than their inability to spell, not for their inability to say something constructive to the ./ hordes..... So why don't you go fourth and multiply... After 1,2 and 3?
Typical. Play number one in the administration's disinformation playbook: Denounce anyone who dares to question the patently false 'official version' of events as a 'conspiracy theorist' and make fun of their tinfoil hat. Repeat as needed, until the lies become truth.
What's truly sad is the depth to which you've been suckered by this propaganda campaign. You mention several other sites that purportedly 'debunk' the 'conspiracy theories'. You now have a choice:
It's your choice. Personally, I'm hoping you take me up on my offer, because at some point along the way, there's a good chance you'll be forced to think critically about the 'official version' of events, at which point you'll easily see what a pathetic house of cards it truly is.

What Bush is doing is wrong, and frankly he should be in jail. The fact that Clinton may well deserve the next cell over is not an excuse, it's an example of how bad the problem realy is.
